02 · Independent Review

Independent Review of AML

An independent review (internal audit) of your AML programme is mandated under the PCMLTFA — and is the single most effective tool for proving to your regulator that you are meeting your obligations.

We run risk-based reviews aligned to the OSFI B-8 Guideline, OSFI B-8 Guideline and FINTRAC Guidance and FATF Recommendations. Findings are graded by severity, rooted in evidence, and accompanied by a prioritised remediation roadmap your board can act on.

  • Risk-based scoping mapped to your business model and licence
  • Severity-graded findings with root-cause analysis
  • Report-ready output for board, audit committee and regulator
  • Optional remediation programme management as a follow-on

03 · Risk Assessment

AML / CFT Risk Assessment

Required for every OSFI-regulated FI and DNFBP, and the foundation of a right-sized AML programme. Without it, controls are over- or under-engineered — both of which carry regulator and cost consequences.

We deliver enterprise-wide risk assessments and product / line-of-business deep dives, mapped against Regulatory, DFSA, FSRA and FINTRAC expectations — with documented residual-risk ratings, board-ready heat maps and a prioritised action plan.

  • Inherent + residual risk across all FATF risk factors
  • Control-effectiveness ratings tied to actual evidence
  • Heat-map output and prioritised remediation plan
  • Refresh on the regulator-expected cycle (typically annual)

04 · Policies & Procedures

Assurance of AML / CFT Policies & Procedures

We draft, review and uplift the full policy stack — AML / CFT Policy, CDD & EDD Procedures, Transaction-Monitoring Procedure, Sanctions-Screening & TFS Procedure, STR Procedure, Training & Awareness Policy — aligned to your risk profile and the regimes you operate under.

  • End-to-end policy stack drafting or targeted uplift
  • Aligned to Regulatory, DFSA, FSRA, MoE and FATF expectations
  • Procedures front-line staff can actually follow on the desk
